We went to an amazing neighborhood to look at
Christmas lights. I had never seen so many homes decorated so well. Each house had their own theme- even the inside of the garages were decorated! One house had their entire backyard transformed into Bethlehem with the story of Jesus piped in.

This house's theme was Santa's airport. There were planes, an air control center, a "Low flying Santa" sign, and flashing runway lights!

After the lights, we opened one present each- our new Christmas jammies.

Once the kiddos went to bed, we started setting all our the gifts and stockings out. We really had soooo much!

Everyone had a stocking- from the oldest to the youngest!
